A postpartum doula is a trained professional that offers physical, emotional and informational support to a new parent and family. According to the Childbirth & Postpartum Professional Association, families have an easier time transitioning to parenthood if a solid support system is in place. In today’s society extended families do not always live close by and may be unable to help support the family. Unfortunately medical professionals are not able to provide educational and physical/emotional support outside of the hospital setting. When this support from family or professionals is lacking, mentoring is then lost. A postpartum doula can bridge this gap and provide the missing mentoring opportunity.
